P2....Cart arrival in the background. Sheriff is the foreground doing some broadsword fencing exercise with an opponent.

P3...Nadia taking the horses by reins and pulling them into a shed. "Himmel. Ask the Sheriff to see our prize." Himmel bounding from cart. "Of course."

P5...Sheriff knocking the sword out of his opponents hand "Ha." Crowd, "yay" ClappCllapp.

P6...Dwarf at the front of crowd, standing with arms folded. Very calm looking.

P1... Mid shot, Sheriff close enough to leer and finger Nadias hair. "You are a vision. A foot taller than any of the wenches in Claw Valley. Your hair is so free and beautiful."

P2....Nadia pushes the hand aside and reaches up to her scalp with the whip hand. "Thank you. My father was a tall man. " "I'm not so attached to my hair I wouldn't sell it for a fair price." Seperate balloons

P3...Foreground, Nadia's whip hand gripping a wig she holds out to the background shot of horrified Sheriff Reed.

P4....Profile, close up of Nadia's head. Scalp scars take up all the forward part of her scalp. Remaining long hair at the back turned into a pony tail.."I have a lion to thank for ridding me of most of my vanity." The beast laughs from somewhere in the background.
